Ratlin – Times Of A Good Lad

Ratlin – You Know What It Is

Alternative to MTV’s Best of the Best: UK MCs Top 10 (What It Should Have Been)

What is this about?

On Sunday 20th February 2011 MTV screened a show debating and listing the top 10 UK MCs from 2010. Naturally, as expected, the list caused uproar amongst both fans and artists themselves, describing the list as a farce, and incorrect to say the least.

What was wrong with the list?

The list was flawed in many ways. For example, it isn’t fair to just judge on the past year alone. Just because someone has released more work in the past year, it doesn’t make them or their music better than material that was released during the years before. The list could have instead been based on current relevance, and something which is all too often forgotten – credibility. The other problem was split genres. The list had rappers cramped together with grime MCs. There should have been two lists separating the genres, or more for more genres, and recognition and publicity could have been given to 20 artists instead of 10. But remember, that would risk fuelling the integration of urban music into a wider accepting audience, and we don’t want that.

Not to take anything away from the panel, but who on the panel has a CV that qualified them to judge the hierarchy of artists in the UK today? How many learn-ed scholars of urban music were representing a valid viewpoint? Or was this compilation merely a steered opinion of stone-steppers and industry spearheads? In other words, who kept it real and who kept it sweet? Another thing is the different categories that could be applied to MCs. The most lyrical? The best live performer? The best-selling? However, the list could have been based on the overall package, so in all fairness to categorise even further would be unnecessary.

Why is this alternative list different?

Firstly, as it’s written by one person, it is opinion based on who has been deemed entertaining and maintained attention and produced quality music. It is not the official industry standard others would claim their’s to be. It lists the reasons either for and against why artists were chosen. It goes beyond the Top 10 to list honourable mentions, artists that were left out, and the reasons why, and artists that are in demand. Frankly, it’s not so much a list as it is a celebration. In reality, the UK scene is booming with so much quality out there that making a Top 10 is not an easy job. Enjoy.

THE GREEN BUTLER’S TOP 10 UK MCs FEBRUARY 2011

10. Lethal B

This one might be controversial but he is so relevant. He’s jumped across a number of genres, and done it extremely well. He’s kept the scene interesting, and managed to bring so many artists together.

9. Big Narstie

Big Narstie has been killing it for a while now. The music is quality, the humour on Twitter is even better. The interviews are interesting and honest, and true. The music is quality. The movement is big. I could go on…

8. Wretch 32

A breath of fresh air in a world of mundane lyrics. When you listen any song a second time, you will pick up on something you missed the first time round. The lyrics are on point. And very clever too.

7. P Money

One of the few artists that actually had what it took to go against one of the powerhouses in Grime. The flow is incredible as well as the lyrics. The only thing missing is more exposure and more official video releases.

6. Sway

Have people forgotten the madness he does on the mic? The flows are too much. Too much. And he put out some mixtapes for all of us. And he’s made it onto a label that supports him abroad. And he can be either serious or silly, and pull it off perfectly on a track.

Twitter War – Wiley Vs Jay Sean [2011]

Over the weekend, Wiley became the subject of controversy when a beef was ignited with Jay Sean. What followed was a torrent of tweets between the grime star and many of Jay Sean’s fans. This soon descended into what Wiley called ‘ethnic banter’ and what others called ‘racism’. Wiley was interviewed on Bobby Friction’s show to respond to accusations of him being racist, however, his defence could not be upheld as tweets from both sides were not available.

Well, here they are, the ones that would be of interest anyway. Jay Sean’s tweets are in red, Wiley’s are in black, and others are in green.
